The neighbourhood is perceived as the core of social cohesion, a notion which appears weakened in our times. The European Capital of Culture makes squares, parks and even backyards the venues for its events precisely to make people reconnect with each other and with their surroundings and to restore the importance of neighbourhood associations. Professional musicians and amateurs come together and set up a celebration in these locations where people will not only come together in music, they will also be part of creating a cultural tradition that will reinforce social interaction and bring people and social groups together.
